Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them fully with hot water. Let them soak for 2-4 hours or until softened. Alternatively, for a quicker method, soak them in boiled water for 30 minutes.
Drain the cashews and transfer them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and water into the blender with the cashews.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Once the mixture is fully blended and free of any lumps, add the olive oil and blend again briefly until just incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt based on your preferences.
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a bowl and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables or use it as a topping for roasted veggies, grilled meats, or lettuce wraps to keep it Whole30-compliant.
